That Fateful Night

That Fateful Night…… The nightfall makes my mind to shudder with fear, I remember that night crystal clear, I was approaching to attend a knock on the door, I did not stop until I heard a loud roar. All of a sudden the hall became dark But I could see an approaching flame spark The tree outside was wavering in the wind And I was hiding under the sofa with a sharp knife I thought it was the last day of my life The rush of adrenaline made me come out I, making it out alive was a complete doubt And then I hear a painful shout It tore through my ears I realized it was gone but my fear remained The walls of my house blood stained My heart was throbbing with guilt Now my life was ruined, I was like silt At a corner, I see his corpse I then decide to ride away on my horse I try to keep up my pace But when I close my eyes I only see his bruised face I knew I had committed a crime And it felt right at that time I close my eyes and all the memories play in my brain I throw myself in the pathway of a speeding train My legs were shaking with the train’s speed But I pay it no heed The train launches forward on me and I fall down covered in a pool of blood Now I have cleansed my soul and started a new life I am everywhere, starting from the clouds, stars and the skies You see me on the lawn and in everyone Now I am all and none.
